Marshall County Health Department Accreditation Information

In the 2015-2016 fiscal year, Marshall County Health Department (MCHD) began our Journey to Excellence. As we strive for Public Health Accreditation from the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB), our goal is to improve and protect the health of the public by advancing the quality and performance of MCHD. The framework of PHAB’s Standards and Measures are derived from the 10 Essential Public Health Services and measures the capacity of how the health department delivers core functions of assessment, policy developments, and assurance. Accreditation will help our efforts to assure accountability to you, the community we serve; to meet our mission of improving the health of Marshall County; to build on our strengths; identify opportunities for improvement; and to place our health department in a competitive position for grant funding.
